    No that is not covid they had a side effect , it's the same thing that happens when people get the flu shot , but with the flu shot only some people have it with covid it may happen to most .

    Yes, people can get infected after a full vaccine regimen.  The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are officially supposed to be 95% effective.  But that's not 100% effective.  So some people who get the vaccine can still get infected.  But these cases are rare.  The vaccine provides a lot of protection.  And there seems to be evidence that the people who have been infected after getting the vaccine tend to be less sick than those who catch it without vaccination

    Yes.  Definitely but won't be as bad.

    Apparently so.  Nobody said these vaccines had a 100% effectiveness rate.  Still, they should make the covid less severe if you do get it.  Not that I care.  I'm not taking a vaccine that isn't ethically made.

    None of the Covid-19 vaccines are 100% effective, but they are all very effective.  So yes, it is possible not not probable.

    At the children's hospital of

    philadelphia dr paul offit says covet 19

    vaccine appointments were staggered

    among staff

    because the second dose can pack a

    temporary punch

    we knew that people could miss a day or

    two of work

    as the vaccines roll out across the

    country many americans are having the

    same experience

    for me it was the body aches that were

    definitely the most severe i felt like

    i'd been hit by a truck for like six

    hours

    i could feel um every joint and muscle

    my body just really began to

    to ache and felt very sore

    um temperature wise i had wild

    fluctuations

    carney lewis and eric gennard got the

    pfizer and moderna vaccines respectively

    but it's not just the second dose of the

    two shot vaccines that come with

    reactions

    alex debart a 24 year old child care

    worker received the one shot jnj vaccine.

    Yes. The vaccine prevents the vast majority of infections; but no vaccine prevents 100% of them.

    Of course.

    The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are both reported to be about 90-95% effective at preventing infection (by two weeks after the 2nd dose), and about 98-99% effective at preventing serious illness.

    The J&J vaccine is supposedly only about 70% effective at preventing infection - but 100% effective at preventing serious illness.

    95% effective means you EXPECT up to 5% of those fully vaccinated to become infected.  In reality however, the numbers are much better than that.  So far, only about 0.02% of fully vaccinated people have shown these "breakthrough infections."

    Of course.  The vaccines are not 100% effective.

    Yes, but vaccines and COVID aren't black and white. You are far much less likely to get COVID if you get vaccinated, but if you do still happen to get it, you'll also be far much less likely to have serious and meaningful symptoms.
